Locations

1.TRAIN STATION - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with informational posters telling you all about where you've ended up.
2. THE BEACH - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you're probably not likely to dip your toes in.
3. THE BLACK STALLION - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don't see anyone immediately who's willing to serve you. Maybe you're meant to get it yourself.
4. THE OBELISK - The tall monolith in the center of the city marks the gathering place of many events, though right now it seems to be cold and dark.
5. THE CLOCKTOWER - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don't mind braving the narrow staircase.
6. THE COFFEE JOINT - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there's always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.
7. THE CATACOMBS - Intrepid, aren't you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you're going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.
8. THE CITY STREETS - All told, Ruby City is a lovely place, once you get past the fact that several of the buildings look derelict and on the verge of falling down. There's no harm in doing a little sightseeing.
9. THE PARK - You thought it'd be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like what we've come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There's a whole host of lovely locations to choose from in the City.

Scenarios

1. NEW ARRIVAL - Step off that train, walk down the street. People usually latch on to newcomers to try and help them out. Even if you look shy, the other residents probably won't be!
2. WATCH TALK - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don't worry, everyone feels that way on their first day. Fortunately - if the signs at the station are to believed - the watch in your pocket can be used to talk to whoever else might be here.
3. BAD WEATHER - Aw, man. Whether it's snow, or rain, or just plain cold, today was definitely the wrong day to get dumped off in a City in the middle of nowhere.
4. A RUN-IN - Maybe you weren't watching. Maybe they weren't. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?
5. HELP, IT HURTS - Clumsy, aren't you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn't so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you're in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.
6. HUNGRY - It isn't very obvious sometimes that restaurants are what they are, especially in a place like Ruby City. Where can a person go to get a bite to eat around here?
7. MISTAKEN IDENTITY - Hey, there's someone you know! --Or maybe not.
8. BEING FOLLOWED - Maybe you're just being paranoid, or maybe you've got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there's eyes on you...
9. EVENTS - Feel free to look through our event tag!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

All Around the City

[Such a strange world, this place. She felt so disconnected from her home, she could feel magic, and yet it was not magic she knew. What was this place and that strange metal beast? She had been in the bowels of the worm but it had released her and she no worse for wear. She gently pawed at the cobblestone, feeling the warmth of the sun yet not able to place where she was.

She was so far from her forest...

Why had that strange beast eaten her? She sighed, hoping for answers. Would these people even recognize her? Or would they see her only as a white mare as so many in her own world did? She paused as she observed someone coming towards her and shook her head. She did not offer a hello, not just yet, as they came closer.]

[Usagi was out for her daily stroll around the city. It was so odd here. No ice cream, no video games, no electricity, but worst of all No Mamo-chan and her friends.

And all the scary monsters! Not even like monsters she was used to, but wargs and ghouls and dragons. She felt like she was in some weird Western-style story.

Only it was kinda fun? There were interesting people and some of them were nice enough to help her get around and adjust. They weren't like her best friends, but she'd had time to adjust to that too.

She stopped by the train station on her way to the park and stopped when she saw it. It was white and beautiful and pure. It reminded her of Chibiusa's Helios for a minute but she noticed the lack of wings.]

Oh, wow, it's a unicorn! [She waved tentatively before getting any closer.] I didn't think this strange place had unicorns.

Hello, young maiden. [She offered a smile, happy to be seen for what she was as she nodded her head in return to the small wave, hoping to beckon her closer.] Come here, young one.

Oooooooh! You talk! [Usagi could kinda tell the unicorn was happy to be recognized and walked carefully closer, trying to show some caution.]

I never thought I'd get to see an actual unicorn. [She paused and smiled a bit.] You have a very pretty mane, Miss Unicorn.

[She moved forward and touched her muzzle to Usagi's cheek, smiling to see such joy in the other.] I am here.

[Usagi held still as the unicorn rubbed against her face. She let out a tiny giggle as the delicate fur and mane hair caressed her skin.]

That tickles, Miss Unicorn. I never thought that you'd be this soft.

What is your name, child?

Oh, sorry! My name is Tsukino Usagi. But everyone here calls me Usagi and my friends back home call me Usagi-chan.

[Her smile faded as her thoughts fell on her friends and fiancé and family back in Tokyo.]

And what can I call you, Miss Unicorn? Do you have a name?

[Mickey had gone tree-climbing today, because it's fun and why not? And when he spots the unicorn... he tilts his head.

Horses in his world came in two varieties - four legs and more animal-like with no horn, or two legs and more human-like... and still no horn. Huh. He hangs off the tree by his legs, upside-down, trying to mull this over.]

[She looks up at the mouse and tilts her head.]

Hello, little mouse.

[And the four legged ones never talk, neither! ... wait-]

Hey, I ain't so small!

[But in that shout, he undid his legwork, and as a result-]

W-WHOA!

[FWUMP. Little mouse on the grass.]

... And that was a big mistake...

Are you hurt? [She asked, standing over him.]

Oof... nothin' hurt but my pride.

How strange, why is that your pride is injured, little mouse?

[Sits up!]

Aw, that's just an expression. Means I'm embarrassed!

I am aware of what it implies, what I wish to know, is why?

... Cause I fell?

But you got back up.

October Test Drive!
